6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 3 cups butternut squash, chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, and paprika and saute until onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add chicken and boil until meat is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove chicken to cool.
  • Stir squash, tomatoes, and quinoa into the pot. Reduce heat and let simmer until squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces and return to the pot to heat through, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
